The wolf was caught on his game camera again at 9 p.m. Wednesday night. He says Colorado Parks and Wildlife agents came by around 10 p.m. with two drones and 4-wheelers to scare the wolf off and get it away from the area. The producer says CPW agents texted him that the wolf was gone and the wolf shouldn’t be back, “at least for a while.”

It was a month of widespread movements and exploration for Colorado’s collared gray wolves.
According to Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s latest watershed map — which shows activity between Feb. 25 and March 25 — the wolves were located in watersheds predominantly across Pitkin, Garfield, Rio Blanco, Routt, Jackson, Grand, Pitkin, Eagle counties as well as to the southeast in Clear Creek, Park and Chaffee counties. Some portions of watersheds in northern Gunnison County and northern Summit County also show activity.
Compared to the previous 30 days, the latest map shows more expansive exploration in the region by the animals.

HELENA, Mont. — Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks released the 2025 Montana Gray Wolf Conservation and Management Plan on Wednesday.
The final plan establishes that 450 wolves would ensure there are 15 breeding pairs.
“The former wolf plan served us well, but it was time to make sure our management plan contained the evolutions we’ve made in wolf research, monitoring, conflict management, and the changes to the legal framework we operate under today,” said FWP Director Christy Clark in a press release.

High on a mountain pass near the town of Cocullo in central Italy lay six black sacks. Inside were nine wolves, including a pregnant female and seven youngsters – an entire pack. They had eaten slabs of poisoned veal left out a few days earlier, dying over the hours that followed, snarls of pain fixed on their faces.
Three griffon vultures and two ravens were also killed, probably alongside more animals that went into hiding, dying out of sight. Poison creates a succession of death, spreading through entire food chains and contaminating land and water for years.

Today, House members considered two pieces of legislation that would dramatically weaken the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and remove federal protections for gray wolves in 48 states.
The National Parks Conservation Association issued a letter to Hill leadership, strongly opposing the legislation and its severe threats to wildlife and plants.
National polling conducted in 2023 found that more than 4 in 5 Americans (86%) (including 87% of Democrats, and 84% of Republicans) support federal agency efforts to continue recovery of threatened and endangered species.

GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert’s bill to delist the gray wolf from the Endangered Species Act faced its first subcommittee hearing Thursday.
But before she talked about her bill, Boebert started with an aside, showing photos of human babies she said were born in Washington, D.C., with what looked like birth defects. Boebert, a staunch anti-abortion supporter, then asked if her Democratic colleagues would want to put babies on the Endangered Species Act. After that, Boebert turned to the gray wolf, saying it’s, “an Endangered Species Act success story, and it shouldn’t languish,” on the ESA any longer.

ESCANABA — Following years of flip-flopping by both the state and federal governments on the animals’ protection status, “wolves are at a crossroads in Michigan,” said wildlife biologist Brian Roell, the large carnivore specialist for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources at a recent presentation at Bay College in Escanaba.
Given the presence of wolves, whether they should be hunted has long been a controversial topic. Roell said that both sides of the debate — people who want to protect wolves and people who want hunting allowed — have been guilty of using falsehoods to push their arguments.
The International Wolf Center uses science-based education to teach and inspire the world about wolves, their ecology, and the wolf-human relationship.
